Familiar and sincere project - most beautiful place

Review
I spend almost 3 months in Vilanculos teaching English in the school. For me it was the best experience ever! Honestly, at the beginning I was a little concerned going with an unknown and small NGO because I hardly knew what to expect. I volunteered in Ghana before, so I knew Africa. At the end, I would only go with familiar organizations and definately with kululeku again. They is lots of humanity and the staff really cares about you and you can built up friendships with the locals because it´s not overloaded and you are not one of 1000. So, what can I say... The community is really friendly and welcomes you from the first day. All projects are thoughtful and every penny arrives. The founders of kululeku let you be part of the organization and explain you everything. The house is absolutely modern, newly built, clean, safe. It´s located in the middle of the village, which is nice because you feel like being a part of the community. It´s kind of a busy place because everyone knows everyone and the nighbors get fresh water out of the pump at kululeku house. Vado, Jeff and Jill go out of there way to make your stay unforgettable. I will definately stay in touch with them and visit them again.
The school is about 10 km outside. Vilanculos is kind of a big village, with lots of really nice hotels and you don´t see as much poverty. But the farer you drive outside, the poorer it becomes. The kids at the school are just soooo greatful when you´re there. They are respectful, thanksful to learn, happy about every gesture or present. It´s just no comparison to our school system in Germany. Words can´t explain, so I´d say go there and find out. What I can promise is, that you won´t regeret!
I have travelled a lot during my studies, and everything said on the internet about Mozambique is just soooooo wrong! It´s one of the most beautiful places in the world and the people are friendly and helpful.
